Partnership powers eCommerce mobile apps with merchandising, search and smart collections
Fast Simon, the leader in AI-powered shopping optimization, announced 100 joint merchants with Tapcart, the no-code solution for turning a Shopify eCommerce store into a mobile app. This integration powers top-tier eCommerce apps with optimized search, smart collections and merchandising from Fast Simon. With the ability to browse products on an app quickly and easily, Tapcart mobile app customers can find the product they’re looking for as fast as they can type it. Merchants can also apply the entire suite of Fast Simon merchandising to the Tapcart channel.
Research shows that 51% of consumers prefer using mobile apps for shopping or browsing on mobile devices, and 91% of eCommerce traffic comes from mobile devices. Although mobile apps create more conversions than mobile browsers, many merchants struggle to create mobile-specific shopping experiences. Optimizing mobile apps is a critical component of an omnichannel mix.
“The Fast Simon and Tapcart integration is one of our most powerful features on the plug app. It has given us the ability to direct customers to the right products, and to merchandise the products we want to be featured. Having the right search engine is a critical part of any shopping app, and Fast Simon x Tapcart was able to provide that,” said Oday Alyatim, founder and CEO of Plug.tech.
